salad toppings could be included. Some favorites would be avocado slices, cooked shrimp or sliced prosciutto. If you’re looking for something a little out of the ordinary, try fresh sliced peaches, fresh figs or fresh cherries.

There’s nothing better than chicken hot off the grill. But it’s also very easy to go from incredible to incredibly dry in the blink of an eye. There are a number of tips and tricks for
amazing grilled chicken, but the best advice is to cook it just until it gets between 165°F - 170°F. Then let it rest for at least 5 minutes, or 10 would be better. That way the juices will have a chance to redistribute throughout the breast instead of running out as soon as you cut into it.
